What is the ingredient you use most on average when preparing a meal?
Me, I slather nearly everything that passes my lips in olive oil. Can't get enough of the stuff, I'd chug it by the gallon if it were socially acceptable.
So what about you guys?

Fresh pressed Garlic.
Fresh ground black pepper.
Olive oil is preferable than the usual corn/canola.

Yip Olive Oil if you want one but Garlic is a very close second. Along with onions.

Almost certainly this. Less so now, but historically chick peas have played Titantic role too, I opened a can earlier and caught myself thinking how many hundreds of thousand of you little fuckers have I put by over the years.

got to be salt. I can't think of any sauce that I wouldn't put a pinch of salt in (excluding sweets of course). I can't think of anything I'd boil without putting a little salt in the water. And as for the too much salt is bad for you line - balls to that noise. Yeah, you're getting too much salt if you're eating ready made meals and pizzas and take-out and packet sandwiches all day - but putting a little salt in with your pasta or a sprinkle in your bechamel is not too much.
Next would be olive oil. And then garlic, before I lived with Dindon. God I miss garlic but fortunately for her my girlfriend > garlic so I guess it's ok.

Salad dressing = Olive oil, Tabasco and Maldon Sea salt.
Love salt, an absolute necessity for tomato sauces.
